Our Ministry Home
STS Institute is a ministry of the Scott Dawson Evangelistic Association. For nearly 40 years, SDEA has called America to Christ through evangelistic events in cities around the nation and student events through our student ministry, Strength to Stand.
SDEA believes in and partners with the local Church to bring the hope of Jesus to our nation and equip future leaders to steward the mission of God. Learn More about SDEA.
Pillars
In order to go long in ministry, a clear and confirmed calling is vital. We want to come alongside those whose calling has been affirmed and those who are interested in discovering their calling.
Calling
Qualifying character is paramount. Now more than ever, we need leaders who are beyond reproach and whose integrity farther than the size of their influence.
Character
The Institute ensures biblical groundedness. If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. Our students dive deeply into the Word of God to discover what He says about life and ministry.
Conviction
We’ll train you to meet standards of excellence. Competency is a great capstone to the three other pillars, ensuring that we’re producing individuals of high character and skill.
